The Dash does not fit on the screen. It is simply too big, impossible to reach the right side of it, horizontal scrolling is not supported, ALT + left mousebutton also does not work, inconsistent to all other gnome apps. It should be easy to calculate the size of the icons, and its position relative to the screen-size, this should not be too difficult and this is nothing new. (With compiz this should be an easy task) In the past Unity has been designed for small netbooks and the global menu saves space, yes, good thing, but if i cannot use Unity on nebooks, cause the dash ist too big this is a bit frustrating, because theese small machines are not too slowly. It is only the size of the dash what makes trouble! All the other things works perfect... Please think about this. This is a great regression for me against the old Ubuntu-Netbook-Edition.
